Sexually Transmissible Diseases

Summary

HB 1223 proposes to reduce the criminal classification for people with HIV who donate blood, plasma, organs, skin or other tissue, and to rewrite the definitions and penalties for intentional transmission of HIV and other STDs. It adds exceptions for individuals who follow medical treatment or public‑health recommendations and clarifies that non‑compliance alone does not prove intent to transmit. The measure failed, dying in the Criminal Justice Subcommittee.
